About Me

Before checking out my blog, you should know a little about me. My name is Craig. I was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. You can look it up on a map if you need to know where that is. I am a native speaker of English. That is the only language I am fluent in at this time.

I currently live in Surrey, British Columbia, a suburb of Vancouver on the west coast of Canada. I am married and have four lovely daughters and many grandchildren from different cultures.

I graduated from Simon Fraser University with a Bachelor of Arts, a Certificate in ESL Linguistics, and a Certificate in Liberal Arts.

I have had many jobs, careers, and occupations in my life:

• a machine operator and forklift driver in a cardboard box factory
• a Cost Clerk, Cost Accountant, and Estimator in a folding carton factory
• a pet shop owner with tropical fish, pets, and pet supplies
• an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) in Japan for over four years
• an EFL (English as a Second Language) in Canada for many years
• a casino games dealer and a dealer supervisor
• a business owner as a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor counselling people with emotional and psychological issues
• a blogger about Canadian English and Western culture
